• The LiveCD auto-starts a gnome session.� Too bad it doesn’t allow the screen resolution to be any higher than 640×480.� This size is unfortunately too small for the graphical auto-installer to be useable.
• The command line auto-installer is brittle.� After 6 failed tries with an error dump that closes too quickly to look at, I’m going for the old-school command-line install.� Oh well.
